The National Lutheran Choir depends upon the generosity of individuals for a significant portion of its operating budget. Income from ticket and recording sales constitutes only 46% of the budgeted cost of presenting presenting concerts and workshops, and participating in worship services (for the 2005-6 season).
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans matches the gifts of their members to qualified organizations, National Lutheran Choir among them. Since our enrollment in the Thrivent Financial GivingPlus program in October 2005, individual contributions to National Lutheran Choir have been matched with an additional $6,000 in matching gifts from Thrivent.
In addition, many employers will match employee contributions to qualified nonprofits. Check with your Human Resources office for more information. For more information on making a gift to National Lutheran Choir, or having your gift matched, visit the giving section of our website.
